battery query

[ltbrett]

How do you compensate for the weight imbalance?

The battery weighs a little less than me, and I don't feel the need to balance my heft with a sandbag in the passenger seat when I drive alone. I can't imagine anyone could notice. But in keeping with sound principles, I put the big battery on the right, partially offsetting my big butt.

if you go from two to one battery, What do you do with the extra positive clamp? just insulate it?

I just left the cable there and insulated the connector by wrapping it with a rubber glove and some electrical tape. Probably overkill on the insulation. I wanted to keep it in the car mainly because if I removed it and put it on a shelf in the garage, I'd never find it again!

As far as weight is concerned, I don't think our 2-ton behemoths really notice the "missing" 25-lbs on the left rear.
